So about a week ago I had posted about a mite infestation in my baby barn where my goats and chickens live, other than a pale comb on one of my chickens I had not noticed any issues. Until I caught my flock viciously attacking one of my babies I had hatched out in May. My little silkie...

A few years ago I had a bunch of chickens and ducks, I was spending more time away from home and had to rehome them. I also had 2 goats. The first summer after getting rid of my ducks and chickens I noticed a bunch of wasps in my baby barns and goat pasture, even got swarmed by wasps after...

Any idea on genders of my 2 black ameraucana? They are 11 weeks old. No crowing from either of them yet. Theyre combs are pretty similar I find. Can be pink at times then paler at other times. Chicken number 2 has more of a green sheen to its feathers. Sorry if pics are not good enough, chickens...

Wondering what color my silkie is. He or she is 11 weeks old now. Hatched our as yellow, then was all white, then started getting black on wings around 3 weeks then turned into this.

Anyone have some input on the gender of my 8 week old ameraucana?

One of my chickens (pretty sure it was one of my blue azures) laid a lash egg today. Is there anything I can do for it? All my chickens seem well, no acting out of the ordinary.

Im trying to figure out a name for my new duck house. I usually name my pets houses... so my goat house is the hop skip jump, my duck and chicken coop is the waddle on inn. Now trying to find a name for this new house. It’s for my blind duck Faith. Any ideas?

I have two 5-6 month old mini Nubian wethers and they keep escaping from their fence. They live in a baby barn with a 50x100ft enclosure. Their fence is a 4 foot high supposed to be no climb goat/sheep fencing, secured onto Wooden fence posts. For a while one would escape every once in a while...

So my poor blind duck Faith who came very close to dying the other night after somehow making it to the pond over 50ft from the coop, that was mostly bordered by cinder blocks, falling in being stuck in their for god knows how long, being picked on by some of the other ducks, and miraculously...

I feel so awful. Tonight when I was feeding my ducks and chickens my blind duck Faith wasn’t in her usual spot. Faith is almost a year old. I got her last fall the fella who had her was looking for a new home for her and if he couldn’t find a home was gonna kill her. So of course I took her in...

So last year I had a mix of 4 ducks, 4 chickens, a goose and 3 guineas. They lived in a baby barn( I think it 14x10) or around that anyway. And had a covered dog run about 14x8. This year I’ve expanded, as well as getting rid of some. I now have 1 guard goose, 10 chickens and 12 ducks. They...

I got a new paint silkie chick. It only has two or three tiny black spots on it. Wondering if it will get more as it grows and feathers out. Can people post pics of their paint silkies as chicks and as adults? Thanks!

Just wondering if my frizzled Easter Egger is a cockerel as I suspect. He/she is 12 weeks

This is my nine week old cockerel Emmy. He was the first chick I ever hatched in my incubator. I had questioned if he was a black sex link as he had a white spot on his head when he hatched and he is barnyard mix. Anyway I can now see he is definitely a cockerel. He tried crowing 2 weeks ago...

So I had posted about some eggs I have in the incubator that had small air cells. When I went in to lockdown yesterday afternoon 6 out of 8 had good air cells 2 had smaller ones. Well this morning one of the smaller air cell eggs have externally pipped but at the wrong end. My incubator loses...

So I had put 10 barred rock(rooster) by Rhode Island Red(hen) eggs in my incubator. All 10 were fertile but at day 10 one had quit, day 15 one had quit. So I’m down to 8 eggs. Tomorrow is day 18, 4 eggs have great looking air cells and the other 4 have air cells that look a little too small...

So I hatched out three baby chicks two weeks ago. They were a barnyard mix. One is an Easter Egger, one looks like a Rhode Island Red, and the the other looks like unfortunately a black sex link. It’s name is emmie and is so special to me because it’s the first chick I ever hatched. Its black...

So 34 days ago I set 8 Muscovy eggs in my incubator. 1 was infertile. 1 quit early on. 3 quit halfway through and 2 quit yesterday or day before. I’m down to 1 baby Muscovy left. She had internally pipped over 3 days ago. Throughout the hatch my humidity has been ok, it was hard to control on...

A little less then a month ago, I put 8 Muscovy eggs in an incubator. It was my first time hatching eggs. A week into having the muscovies in there 1 was infertile and 1 had quit. I had extra room in the incubator so threw in 4 chicken eggs, 1 was infertile. Well today was day 21, for the chicks...
